“He is such a f--- up,” the president allegedly said, according to Manigault Newman, after he saw his son had posted screenshots of emails setting up the meeting. “He screwed up again, but this time, he’s screwing us all, big-time!”

At the time the emails were released, the president defended his son as a “high-quality person” and applauding his “transparency.”

Trump Jr. had downplayed the meeting, saying that it was about adoption policy as related to American sanctions on Russia and describing it as a “waste of time.”

Earlier this month, President Trump contradicted his previous statements about the meeting. In a tweet refuting reports that he is concerned that his son may have inadvertently broken the law, the president confirmed that the meeting was held “to get information on an opponent.”
